Just like to point out that this plasmoid is not an exact _copy_ but a bit different:
This shows the time remaining _constantly_ and the text has an offset from the image. See the monochrome screenshot.

Sebas, can you carefully see in the DESCRIPTION just below UNINSTALL a bit text called CREDITS. This is where I took the initial code.

Several things in gnome can be done by editing the config file but in KDE-SC everything has a nice place in systemsettings with simple tick boxes. I like this plasmoid to be in this way.

With due respect why can't someone else have a different way of doing thing instead of your idea?
>It just struck me that I find some >code on the Net which I've written, >and where my name is removed from the >Author's credits
If I had posted the code with your name also, you might be telling me that other people reading the code _may_ think this code is your idea (instead of editing the config file _easily_). You would have told me at that point that I misrepresent the your ideas.

I can only try to do it within my time constraints. As I told before since the upstream has monochrome and config file editing ease" may be nobody needs this plasmoid. Not everyone has time and so many laptops to run kde-trunk to update it frequently.
I have great respect for all of you kde-devs, but please allow others to express their ideas. Next time I edit the code I will add your name. Is this fine? Anything else?

I created this to have the monochrome icons. No hidden agenda.

I just made it for some my laptop at that time to have monochrome icons and time remaining. Since the upstream has monochrome may be nobody needs this plasmoid.

The reason I removed it was not because I am selfish but I did not want anyone to file bug report to you and annoy you. I am being polite. I can now add a big statement that you are original author of this applet :-) if you need the more publicity!

http://vizzzion.org/blog/2009/11/battery-improvements-in-kde-plasma-4-4/
I did see that. (BTW I read planetkde, planetubuntu, dot.kde everyday) But remember not every one reads your blog. I made this applet to show the time remaining directly - normal users do not want to edit config files!
>It's also possible to add the >remaining time using

It works in my laptop so I wanted to help others that may use it. Is this a problem for you?
There are many things in KDE -SC that do not work depending on the computer but it is OK and acceptable. Life is like that!
Since you have admin privileges please delete the project if you think it does bad for KDE SC.
Again, I am not looking for money or so from the author name. Perhaps do you mean that I should not have published it after making changes? - Dec 30 2010

Can you logout or better reboot.

Right-click on system tray and select Systemtray settings. you can select the new plasmoid there.

Try in a terminal
$ kde4-config -v
Qt: 4.7.0
KDE Development Platform: 4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0)
Or look in Konqueror -> Help -> About Kde
Which version is it?
for plasmoid-0.4 you need kde4.5
If you have old version of kde then use 0.3 - Aug 17 2010

$> plasmaengineexplorer --engine powermanagement
Select powermanagement and you should see Battery-> has Battery -> true
Can you type this in a Konsole and paste the output for me here in comments:
$> solid-hardware query 'IS Battery'
May be you can logout or restart the machine?
Does the standard battery applet detect the battery? - Jul 22 2010
